Sinus problem.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Goods news that he is close to signing and that he is symptom free

Deserves a 2 year deal, a trigger for a 3rd

 

[bennymate]

His concussion issues are related to his sinuses? Wtf

 

[Only Forwards]

When's the last time a North player went to *? Derek Kickett?

it can cause dizzyness. a blockage in the sinus’ can cause all sorts of issues.

Sinus/middle ear issue can cause tinnitus, vertigo, headaches ect. Would have very similar symptoms to a concussion

exactly.
i suffer from s**t sinus’ and i can tell u, that at times, its pretty bad.

 

[Billy Not Really]

At least its not the neck and concussion symptoms that are the major problems, but a nagging sinus injury would be extremely difficult to deal with at high level play.

Yep. I had a dive injury about ten years ago which buggered up my ears, had really weird acute headaches for 2 years before surgery sorted it out

 

[Rad Roo]

is your shaun hart type player, someone who look seemingly not very useful but in the end plays the critical role. This guy takes us to the next level, a must have when our window opens in 2020 if not earlier if polec, gaff, hall all come to us.

Sinus problem.

So the best tagger in the comp missed half the season because we couldn't locate a jar of Vicks Vapor Rub?

Anyway, good to see he is close to re-signing.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Dr Kavorkian absolutely dominating at the club at the moment.

 

[Horizons_00]

Sinus problems are ****ed

Can really mess everything up. We’ve finally figured it out in the last game of the round

 

[Caracas]

Bad luck for Ben and us. I assume this means he could have played all along, as it wasn’t concussion-related. What a bummer...

This is ******* amateur hour.
I mean come the * on? Sinus issues?

The whole year derailed and we finally get to the bottom of it now? What happens next year? Do we not train him outdoors and only play him at Etihad?

This reeks of complacency and a lack of professional judgement and I’m sorry but the club had to do more to get him back on the park.
There is a massively blurred line between playing injured and being unfit to play and surely more could have been done to get him up for matches.

It was not just Sinus issues though. There was delayed signs of concussion also etc

I agree that it is ******* ridiculous that all of a sudden, hes been diagnosed on the last round

• 16 x CT scans, 4 doctors, masseuse, concussion specialist - $34,213
• Vicks Vapor Rub - $4.13

 

[FlyHigh18]

Given our win/loss percentage surrounding Jacobs i would give him the cheque book. Retaining him is more important than any 'potential' trades this year

K-Mart pack of 10 hankies ? $3.50.

Had sinus problems for a while myself. Blinding headaches with blocked nose at 2.38 a m. when you gotta get up early and go to work not much fun. Believe me.

 

[DesertRoo]

Cocaine is a hell of a drug..

 

[KangaRooster]

Who cares as long as it’s treated and he’s on the park to start pre-season

I was worried he’d have recurring concussion issues that could severely limit/end his career - this is fantastic news!

Was it found when he was doing a medical for another club?

Nah Kangatech have moved into the sinus space and one of their scans picked it up eh Groin guru?

They're calling it RooTissue.

 

[shintemaster]

Happy for the club to play hardball with BJ. He's not a star, he's a soldier.

He's a bit more than a soldier. With Waite retiring Ben is in out top handful of most important players. He has a freakish football brain IMO.
